Sign In. A man in his early 20s is dead after a fatal cliffjumping incident in North Vancouver on Wednesday July 3. Assistant chief Scott Ferguson said the District of North Vancouver Fire and Rescue received a call from the district's park rangers patrolling Lynn Canyon Park, just before 5 p.m. The park rangers had a report of a swimmer in distress. Ferguson said the the fire department dispatched a full swiftwater rescue response to the Twin Falls area of Lynn Canyon. He said crews immediately started a search at the river's edge, along with an inflatable rescue boat. "We found the patient in the water and we were able to extract them and get them to the side of the river and immediately started CPR because they were unresponsive and had no pulse.". Ferguson said the firefighters had to use a rope system to carry them up to the pathway in the trail system to two waiting ambulance crews. They then had to carry him out to the staging area of the meadows, which Ferguson said has a number of stairs. The North Shore Rescue responded with a helicopter to transport the man out on a long line and transported to hospital. Ferguson said the fire department is called out "quite regularly" for people who need assistance, whether it's for someone who needs help in the water or someone who injured themselves on a trail. "They need to know the dangers of these waters before they enter them. It is moving water, or swift water, and it changes regularly and can be very strong. We want people to know the hazards before they enter them.". Ferguson said the park rangers in the area have a wealth of information and cantell people where it's safe to swim and "where it's really not safe to swim." He added cliffjumping in the area is quite common in the summer months once the weather starts to get better. "We definitely don't recommend cliffjumping at all. There are signs in the canyon that talk about the dangers of cliff jumping and how extremely dangerous it is.". About the Author:Lauren Collins.

I was really scared. Lyn was nervous as well. Especially when we sat there getting the harnesses and equipment put on us. But when that gate opened there was no turning back. I just tried to enjoy it and I described to Lyn what I could see. They counted down in Welsh and off we went. We went down two zip wires the first one was 70mph, and the second one was 77mph. I loved it so much. We said we would definitely do it again, maybe in September. I was the biggest coward, but I did it. It was so emotional. I ve raised over 1,100 and between mine and Lyn s charities, we have surpassed 2,000. I told zip wire staff that I m doing this in memory of my husband. I was wearing his ring. I regret that Paul didn t do it because he always wanted to. It s been very heartwarming to see people donate so much. . Lyn, who is completely blind, shouted Geronimo when he landed at the end of the zip wire. He said: "I felt like a bird. I had my arms out when I was going down and I was not thinking about anything. It was great. There were members of the club there to support us and it was emotional. "Next year I want to do sky diving. If it's for charity I'll do it. Every penny counts. It's a great feeling to raise money for T VIC.". The pair decided to do the challenge after Lyn was determined to raise more money for T VIC, which will celebrate its 50th anniversary next year. They were cheered on by other members of T VIC, including a good friend of Lyn s and fellow member of the club, 101yearold veteran Neville Bowen.

An environmental charity is calling for access to energyefficient heating and cooling systems to be protected as a right. In a recently released report, Ecotrust Canada makes several policy recommendations that would accelerate several existing policies and introduce new housing regulations. In its report, released at the end of June, Ecotrust spoke to nine tenants across B.C. "We are dealing with more and more extreme heat here in B.C. as well as folks who have really uncomfortable situations in winter," Dylan Heerema, a senior policy adviser at Ecotrust, said. "It's possible to ensure that all rental suites are maintained at a safe and livable temperature.". Ecotrust is asking B.C. municipalities to adopt bylaws requiring rental units to maintain livable temperature ranges during periods of extreme heat. It also recommends mandatory assessments of each unit's energy efficiency and financial support for rental unit retrofits and lowincome household utility costs. Landlords B.C., a landowner advocacy group, declined to comment. The B.C. Landlords Association and the B.C. energy minister did not respond to requests for comment in time for publication. Last year, 11 people died of heatrelated deaths, according to the B.C. Coroners Service. In the long term, Environment Canada says it expects severe weather, including prolonged periods of intense heat, to become stronger and more frequent due to climate change. Robert Patterson, a lawyer and advocate at the Tenant Resource and Advisory Centre, said the heat dome that blanketed B.C. in 2021 illustrates climate change is having an increasing effect on housing security and safety. "I think we have to take that tragedy, and being unprepared for it, as a lesson and formulate a proper response to make sure people's housing safety and security is protected," he said. "This report talks about some important policy changes that are necessary to get there.". Some of the report's recommendations are already being considered by the province and several municipal governments. At a news conference about heat pump rebates on Wednesday, Josie Osborne, B.C. 's energy minister, said B.C. Hydro and the province are working toward an offer for individual tenants in rental buildings. She did not address specifics. Several B.C. municipalities are considering bylaws that would restrict the maximum temperature of rental units. In August 2023, New Westminster city council voted to explore a bylaw requiring landlords to install cooling systems to keep at least one room in a rental unit from heating past 26 C. The bylaw is still being researched and has not been returned to council since. The municipality already has a similar bylaw for heating, requiring every room in a rental to be heated to a minimum temperature of 22 C. "We require landlords to be responsible people that are running a business," Henderson said. "Part of that is making sure that units can be cooled to accommodate for life safety.". In September,View Royal city council considered a similar bylaw. In May, at its annual conference, the Lower Mainland Local Government Association resolved to ask that the Union of B.C. Municipalities recommend the province amend building code regulations to allow for maximum and minimum temperature standards. New appliances and retrofits can be costly. According to the province, the average cost of installing a heat pump is between 8,000 and 19,000. Running appliances can also raise a household's utility costs. While Ecotrust did propose financial assistance for lowincome household utilities, Patterson said aid should also be available for lowincome landlords, who may be renting out one unit to make ends meet. "Is that cost too much to prevent another 600 people dying in the next heat dome?" Patterson said. "It's kind of farfetched to say that we shouldn't be doing that.". According to Heerema, it's important that heating and cooling appliances are also energy efficient to reduce their climate impact and the cost of running them. He said housing should be regulated like any other business. "We tend to be very accepting of regulation and inspections and proper health and safety standards in many or every other type of business," Heerema said. "It's a bit strange that we don't treat rental housing in some cases in the same way.". ReporterEditor. Isaac Phan Nay is a CBC News reportereditor in Vancouver.

Environmental charity Ecotrust Canada is advocating for energy-efficient heating and cooling systems to be a right, suggesting policy changes to ensure safe temperatures in rental units during extreme weather. The call comes after 11 heat-related deaths in British Columbia last year and predictions for more intense heatwaves due to climate change. Recommendations include mandatory energy assessments, financial aid for retrofits, and temperature bylaws.Officials are considering these proposals to enhance housing safety in the face of climate challenges.

ByAdry Torres For Dailymail.com. Published:17:30 EDT, 8 July 2024Updated:17:40 EDT, 8 July 2024. . 18. Viewcomments. . A Brazilian mountain climber was found lifeless after falling into the crater of Peru's fourth highest mountain, his family said. Marcelo Delvaux had been missing since June 30 when he started to descend from Nevado Coropuna in Arequipa. Delvaux, considered by many as the best mountaineers inBrazil, didn't survive the fall into the crevasse of the mountain, which is 21,079 feet above sea level, his sister toldCNNBrasil. The family hired professional guides who joined the police in searching for Delvaux on July 4 before the search was called off Sunday. 'When they got up there, they found his poles stuck in the ice and the crack open, which is where he fell and probably died instantly,' Delvaux sister, Patricia Delvaux, said. 'Because he was unable to activate the GPS's 'SOS', we assume he fell there. The crack is very deep, very difficult to perform a rescue.'. Brazilian mountain climber Marcelo Delvaux was found dead Saturday, a week after falling into the crater of the Nevado Coropuna, the fourth highest peak in Peru. The Nevado Coropuna is located 21,079 in Arequipa, Peru. Pedro Hauck, a hiker and friend of Marcelo Delvaux, wrote on a blog that he at the mountain grounds on June 25 and set up his camp tent and went on several walks while eventually taking a different route to reach the southwestern end of the Nevado Coropuna. 'More technical and more beautiful than the normal one. Very much like Marcelo, who doesn't follow normal paths and tries to make his own, avoiding famous places,' Hauck said. Hauck said that Delvaux reached Nevado Coropuna's summit around 3pm local time and started his trek down about half hour later. But the GPS stopped transmitting his location after he made it 328 down the mountain and started to register points that were near each other, similar to what occurs when the signal is being lost. 'What if Marcelo had dropped the GPS and it had rolled into a crevasse? That could explain why he hadn't contacted anyone,' Hauck wondered. Marcelo Delvaux was known as perhaps the best mountain climber in Brazil. Marcelo Delvaux had climbed at least 150 mountains, including the Himalayas. Marcelo Delvaux's trekking poles were located Saturday morning. The search and rescue team spotted his tent and equipment at the base of the mountain and footprints were discovered around the edge of the edge of the mountain's crater. 'Perhaps on the way up, he used them to signal the best place to cross, but on the way down he ended up losing support and our friend disappeared into its cold, dark interior,' Hauck wrote. The Nevado Coropuna was one of 150 mountains that Marcelo Delvaux conquered alongside the Himalayas and Andes. The mountain features seven peaks and takes about three to four days to climb. Marcelo Delvaux first attempted to climb the Nevado Coropuna in 2015 and returned in 2016 and made it to the top of four of the seven summits. He went back in July 2023, but had to abort the trip after encountering an area that was full of crevasses. He lived in the southeastern Brazilian city of Belo Horizonte, but often spent most the year hiking and working as tour guide in the Andes. Published by Associated Newspapers Ltd.

Rescue teams located his trekking poles and footprints, indicating his route. Delvaux's GPS signal was lost during his descent, leading to speculations about his fate. He had a history of conquering challenging summits and often ventured off the beaten path.

There are a lot of food challenges out there but the Paul Bunyon looks like a lot of fun to try and delicious to eat. The origins of Paul Bunyan are still unknown but the odds are someone in a lumber camp around the Great Lakes came up with this piece of folklore. There is a French Canadian lore about Mr. Bunyan but other's say he could have come from Minnesota since the Duluth News Tribune was the first to publish the stories. Not to be confused with the Paul Bunyan trophy or Paul Bunyan, Michigan, but the lore is he is a giant lumberjack with superhuman strength and is accompanied by Babe the Blue Ox which is his pet and working buddy. Anything to do with Bunyan is big. The above picture is the Paul Bunyan I am talking about. There is a restaurant in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan, called Elly's. They serve this giant pancake with eggs, bacon, sausage, more bacon, and more eggs, and give you an eye to eat this gigantic breakfast. This picture above really gives you the beastie size of this breakfast. If you think you can pull off eating this bad boy breakfast, Elly'sis at 174 W Weidman Rd. Weidman, Michigan, near Mt. Pleasant. If you can eat this in under an hour, you get the 16 breakfast for free, they will give you a sweet tshirt, and then add you to the wall of fame that now only has 2 people on it.

The origin of the Paul Bunyan food challenge remains a mystery, with theories suggesting it comes from French Canadian folklore or Minnesota lumber camps. This challenge consists of a massive breakfast served at Elly's restaurant in Michigan, including a giant pancake, eggs, bacon, sausage, and more. If successfully eaten in under an hour, diners receive the meal for free, a t-shirt, and a spot on the wall of fame. Only two individuals have accomplished this feat so far.

It s just devastation to see your house up in flames and you can t do anything to stop it, said Hayes. When I noticed, it appeared like I threw a breaker, Hayes said. So, I went to go check the breaker box and smoke just started rolling in. . Hayes rushed his family outside and called 911 as flames quickly engulfed the house. Where the AC is, it got up through there, went through the eave and then, when the wind picked up, it just ripped through the middle of the house, said Hayes, describing the path of the blaze as he walked up his driveway. As day broke and others celebrated Independence Day, the Hayes family reflected on what little was left behind of their American dream. Greg, who recently retired after 31 years at Toyota, had to wonder also about their future, if he might have to go back to work. But one thing s for certain, they love the community they re living in, and the neighborhood was instantly there to support them. This is the best neighborhood, no offense to anybody else, said Hayes. Whether it s monetary, whether it s room to stay, whether it s a meal, it s just been pouring out from the woodworks. . The Hayes family is determined to stay in their neighborhood, so neighbors have even set up a GoFundMe, in the hopes it can be the foundation that they rebuild upon. It s going to be tough to begin with, but we ll get through it, we always do, Hayes said.

BOSTON Massachusetts lost more than 3.8 billion in stateadjusted gross income between 2021 and 2022 as residents fled to New Hampshire, Florida and other lowtax states, according to new Internal Revenue Service data. The IRS data, based on income tax returns, shows the Bay State lost a net of more than 45,000 residents in the 2021 and 2022 calendar years taking with them more than 3.9 billion in taxable income. That s the fifth highest rate of domestic outmigration in the nation following New York, Illinois, New Jersey and California. New Hampshire and Florida were the biggest beneficiaries of Massachusetts transplants, the IRS data shows. More than 18,189 people moved from New York to Florida, taking 1.4 billion. Another 23,596 Bay Staters moved to Florida, bringing more than 2.8 billion in income with them, according to the IRS. The Pioneer Institute, a Bostonbased think tank, says the data shows the largest cohort to flee Massachusetts were 26 to 35 yearolds, with 9,500 more tax filers leaving than coming into Massachusetts in 2022, more than five times the amount a decade earlier. This loss of young talent hinders the state s future innovation and economic growth, which will compound over decades, said Mary Connaughton, Pioneer s director of government transparency. The cost of housing is a leading factor and the recent housing bill is not enough to address this critical challenge. . We need more innovative solutions at the local level to adequately boost the state s housing supply, she added. The report is the latest in the series that highlights how Massachusetts population is shrinking despite an ongoing influx of new arrivals, many through immigration. Still, the state s outmigration appears to be slowing, with about 18,000 fewer residents leaving the state in 2023 than in 2022 a 31 drop, according to the latest census data, released in May. Experts say the outmigration has less to do with politics than it does with a lack of housing, prevailing wages and access to employment. But federal data shows the population decline has major implications for the states, revenue, and tax collections. The state has seen its revenue benchmarks from tax collections fall short over the past year. Massachusetts lost an estimated 4.3 billion in stateadjusted gross income in 202021 tax year as residents fled to other lowtax states, according to the latest IRS figures. On Beacon Hill, state leaders have approved proposals to cut taxes and reduce the state s high cost of living as part of a broader effort to stop outward migration and make the state more attractive to new families and businesses. Gov. Maura Healey, a firstterm Democrat, has expressed concerns about the exodus of residents and businesses in the wake of the COVID19 pandemic. She acknowledged the impact of the housing crunch on outmigration at an event in Lowell, where she and other officials announced 27 million in tax credits for new housing developments in Salem, Lawrence and Haverhill and other Gateway cities. I love New Hampshire, but I want people to stay here in Massachusetts, Healey said in remarks on Tuesday. I don t want them going north of the border. . But critics point to the state s high tax burden, including the voterapproved millionaires tax that set a new 4 surtax on individuals with incomes above 1 million a year. They say despite a tax reform package signed by Healey last year, the state needs to do more to ease the burden on residents and businesses. A 2023 report by the leftleaning policy group Massachusetts Budget and Policy Center says IRS data from 2020 to 2021 shows that Massachusetts has a lower rate of outmigration among highincome households earning 200,000 or more a year than that of low and middleincome households. The report s authors say that data suggests state tax levels have had little impact on the decisions of highincome households. Christian M.

Hyderabad:BJP floor leader in Telangana Assembly, A Maheshwar Reddy, claimed that Speaker G Prasad Kumar was not accepting a petition seeking disqualification of Khairatabad MLA Danam Nagender, who recently jumped ship from the Bharat Rashtra Samithi BRS to the ruling Congress party. He stated that if the defected MLA is not disqualified, people will lose trust in democracy. . Reddy said he tried to meet Prasad Kumar several times but could not as the Speaker was not going to his office. The Assembly staff were not accepting the representation sent by post and were returning it back. There is already a case in the High Court regarding the disqualification of Danam Nagender. If required, the party will approach the Supreme Court as well, he remarked. Danam Nagender recently contested from the Secunderabad Parliamentary constituency as the Congress party s candidate in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls. The antidefection law in India, enshrined in the Tenth Schedule of the Constitution, has several key provisions. Firstly, a legislator MP or MLA can be disqualified if they voluntarily give up membership of their political party or voteabstain from voting in the House contrary to the directions of their political party. Additionally, a nominated member is disqualified if they join any political party after six months of taking their seat. However, the law does allow for some exceptions. It permits a group of legislators to join merge with another political party without inviting disqualification, provided at least twothirds of the party s legislators are in favour of the merger. Interestingly, the law does not penalize political parties for encouraging or accepting defecting legislators. The decisionmaking authority on questions of disqualification on the grounds of defection lies with the Chairman or Speaker of the House. Their decision is subject to judicial review by the courts. This aspect of the law has been criticized, as the Speaker is often seen as a partisan figure, which undermines the impartiality of the decisionmaking process. The antidefection law has faced several other criticisms as well. It has been argued that the law allows wholesale defection by twothirds of a party s legislators while prohibiting retail defection by individuals. This has led to a democracy of parties and numbers rather than a democracy of debate and discussion. Reforms have been suggested to strengthen the law and make the decisionmaking process more impartial, in order to address these concerns and uphold the principles of a healthy democratic system.

Vigorous exchanges cause people to confront unorthodox ideas, examine their beliefs, and develop informed opinions. Robust speech is akin to exercise machines in the gym: a tool to build democratic muscles and endurance. Unfortunately, in the wake of protests over the IsraelHamas war, many are calling for restrictions on free speech. For example, Professor Claire O. Finkelstein of the University of Pennsylvania lamented recently in the Washington Post that the First Amendment, which protects free speech and a free press, applies to public universities. She averred that restricting poisonous speech that targets Jews and other minorities should be a priority.

Menu. RICHMOND, Va. Several new laws and bans impacting guns in Virginia went into effect on Monday, July 1. Two new laws include a ban on unregistered auto sears also known as Glock switches and the altering or removing of a serial number from a firearm that is serialized. The laws are merely duplicate federal law at the state level and have no practical effect on lawful gun owners, Philip Van Cleave, president of Virginia Citizens Defense League VCDL, said. Dana Schrad, executive director of the Virginia Association of Chiefs of Police, said their concern is not lawful gun owners.". "Our concern is criminal use of auto sears to basically allow criminals to very easily create a mass shooting event, Schrad said. Auto sear "is a combination of parts designed and intended for use in converting a weapon to shoot automatically more than one shot, without manual reloading, by a single function of the trigger," according to adocument from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms. At a CBS 6 town hall, Richmond Police Chief Rick Edwards called Glock switches one of the department s biggest challenges when dealing with city shooters. We never know with criminals whether these kinds of changes in the law actually have a deterrent effect. What it does help is in investigation. It helps in being able to charge someone who uses something like this to create basically a weapon that would allow for a mass shooting event to be very successful, Schrad said. Lucia s law, named for 13yearold Lucia Bremer, a Henrico girl who was murdered by another teenager, also goes into effect on Monday, July 1. Prosecutors said that the convicted teenager had documented mental health issues. The third law Lucia s law specifically deals with a parent who knows or should know that their child is a danger to himselfherself or to others because the parent has been officially notified by a school that their child has been deemed dangerous, or that child has charges pending, has been found guilty, or adjudicated delinquent of a violent juvenile felony, according to VCDL. Schrad said Lucia s law is impactful in several ways as she noted a nationwide trend in holding adults accountable when children gain access to a firearm. One of the great factors here is that this law now provides an opportunity to be an educational deterrent, and a warning to parents that they are going to be held accountable, she said. VCDL was neutral on those three bills, as worded when signed by the Governor Glenn Youngkin, Van Cleave wrote in a statement. On March 26, the Bremer family applauded state leaders for taking action after their advocacy and the death of their daughter. We know that nothing will bring back our Lucia, so the work of parenting her has shifted to telling her story and advocating for change so that we can make Virginia a safer place, said Jonathan and Meredith Bremer. This legislative change was necessary and important. We appreciate the wide bipartisan support it received, and we are grateful that the Governor chose to sign Lucia s Law on this, the third anniversary of her murder. .

Australians love their dogs. The country's number one dog, Anthony Albanese's Toto, once even attended a dinner for state premiers. 0. min cost 0. Loginor signup to continue reading. Yet to our shame, greyhounds continue to suffer terribly across NSW at the hands of an industry built on the twin pillars of cruelty and greed. Greyhounds are regarded as mere gambling products and brutally exploited to generate profits for betting firms. Greyhound racing was given a second chance after the live baiting expose of 2015 and the Baird government's failure to ban it. But instead of true reform, it's now obvious that the industry and its supportive politicians focused on aggressively building an image of reform, promoting fake improvements designed to mislead the public. For example, seven years after the government announced a 30 million track safety upgrade program, the industry regulator, in its latest injury report, noted total injuries "continue to grow for the highest rate on record". Last year, a new, "safe" doublearm lure saw two dogs killed when first used at Dapto. And all this while the industry merrily uses taxpayer money to further its goals. Over the past few weeks this image has been shattered by a series of shocking revelations that showed greyhounds continue to die and be abused and allegations that misinformation and misreporting is rife. Whistleblowers documented appalling conditions atthe Greyhounds As Pets facility at Wyee, and questionable operation of the "Aussie Mates in the States" export program to the US. Their claims were echoed byan explosive report from the former chief vet of Greyhound Racing NSWGRNSW, Alex Brittan. He described the treatment of racing greyhounds as "barbaric" and said deaths were being hidden from the public. Despite millions of taxpayer dollars being thrown at racetracks to make them "safe", Brittan noted the industry had seen the greatest increase in the rate of race injuries in NSW history. He also had much to say about the GRNSW rehoming program, the centrepiece of CEO Robert Macaulay. We've long known that the industry has a huge oversupply problem as they keep breeding too many dogs to find the next winner. Ignoring calls for a breeding limit, they're breeding greyhounds at an unsustainable rate that inevitably ends in "wastage". In a further telling comment, Brittan said that GRNSW's attitude to animal welfare concerns was reprehensible. In a desperate attempt to fight back, GRNSW and Macaulay launched full page ads in the mediaboasting about the "best year ever". Days laterMacaulay resignedas the house of cards crumbled around him.The GRNSW board is on borrowed time. Reflecting the lack of transparency that marks greyhound racing, the regulator Greyhound Welfare and Integrity Commissionattempted to conceal the Brittan report after it was tabled in NSW Parliament. NSW was once seen as the "gold standard" in regulation of the greyhound racing industry, supposedly boasting the highest animal welfare standards. It's clear that this image has been a facade that hid horrendous levels of animal abuse. Greyhound racing has shown it is incapable of reform and can never be trusted. For the sake of the greyhounds that continue to suffer every day, it doesn't deserve another chance. Advertisement. Sign up for our newsletter to stay up to date.

Cloudy skies this morning will become partly cloudy this afternoon. Slight chance of a rain shower. High 89F. Winds SSW at 10 to 20 mph.. Mostly clear. Low 71F. Winds SW at 10 to 20 mph. Updated: July 11, 2024 9:54 am. . . The black bear shown on the screen was photographed in the nearby town of Middleton. Katie Kozikowski, Andover s animal control officer, offered the photos as part of a Tuesday presentation at Memorial Hall Library, Andover, on handling wildlife experiences. Loading up a bird feeder seems like a nice thing to do for the birds. But a bear will easily grab bird feed for a quick, highcalorie snack. It s always food that drives bears, said Ben Kilham, who runs a black bear rehabilitation center in Lyme, New Hampshire. Bear sightings ticked up in the Merrimack Valley and southern New Hampshire in recent weeks. Haverhill police recently asked residents to be aware of a black bear in the Windsor Street, Mill Street and Plug Pond area. And in Salem, N.H., a bear was seen on Ivan Gile Road, which runs between Fraser Drive and Shepard Avenue. Bears have previously made appearances in Lawrence, North Andover, Haverhill, Danvers, Middleton and even in the city of Manchester, N.H., where a black bear climbed a tree. Kilham said if bears are awake they are searching for food. Their end goal is always going to be to accumulate body fat to live off while they are hibernating. Dumpsters, trash barrels and bird feeders are alluring to bears. It s always food that drives bears. They have to store that fat, Kilham said. Bears do like strawberries, raspberries and blueberries that grow naturally. Right now, those berries are ripened to bears liking which sends them in search of other food sources. Dumpsters at restaurants are often a favorite along with the bird feeders. Bears know where the food is, Kilham said. A fresh tube of bird seed is a 20,000 calorie snack for a bear, said Kilham. He advises residents to take down bird feeders by April 1 to remove the temptation for bears. If you do want to feed birds after that, Kilham suggests doing so by hand and only tossing out bird seed a handful at a time. Kilham says bear attacks on humans are extremely rare and they are afraid of people. Bear problems are human problems, he noted. With a background in environmental science, Kilham has a Phd. in the social behavior of bears and has authored two books. He operates the Kilham Bear Center where orphaned, abandoned and injured black bear cubs are rescued and rehabilitated. Kilham aims to share what he learns at the center to promote bear conservation worldwide. The bear center is not open to the public although information, news and photos on the cubs are regularly posted on its website,kilhambearcenter.organd on Instagram at kilhambearcenter.

In his remarks at the extended format Meeting of the SCO Council of Heads of States in Astana, which were delivered by External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar who was present at the meeting, the PM said that India has had its own experiences with crossborder terrorism in a clear reference to Pakistan, whose Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif was present in the room. Let us be clear that terrorism in any form or manifestation cannot be justified or condoned. Harbouring terrorists must be strongly condemned. Crossborder terrorism requires a decisive response and terrorism financing and recruitment must be effectively countered, the PM said. The SCO must never waver in its commitment. We cannot have double standards in this regard, he stressed. Speaking about geoeconomics, the PM said that the need of the day is to create multiple, reliable and resilient supply chains. He suggested that Make in India can add to the engines of global growth and help democratize the global economy. India is open to partnering with others in capacity building, especially nations of the Global South, he said. On technology, he said that while it holds great promise and is a game changer on both development and security, but the digital era needs more trust and transparency. India has shown that digital public infrastructure and digital financial inclusion can make such a huge difference. Both were discussed during our SCO Presidency. They also expand the scope for international cooperation, involving SCO members and partners, he said. Speaking on connectivity linkages, the PM said that this requires the joint efforts of many. It must also be respectful of sovereignty and territorial integrity of states and be built on the foundation of nondiscriminatory trade and transit rights to neighbours. . He mentioned the progress made on the Chabahar port recently through a longterm agreement between India and Iran, which last year became a member of the SCO. He said that Chabahar port holds great value for landlocked Central Asian states and also derisks commerce between India and Eurasia. On Afghanistan, the PM said: We have a historical relationship between our peoples that is the bedrock of our ties. Our cooperation covers development projects, humanitarian assistance, capacity building and sports. India remains sensitive to the needs and aspirations of the Afghan people. . The PM s remarks on Afghanistan come as Pakistan s ties with Kabul have become strained due to incidents of terrorism in Pakistan s restive Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province which Islamabad has blamed on the TehreekeTaliban Pakistan militants operating from Afghan soil. On reform of the United Nations and other multilateral organisations, the PM said that the SCO extended family shares a commitment to reform the current international order. This is only possible when those efforts extend to the United Nations and its Security Council. We hope that in the near future, we can develop a strong consensus on the way ahead . India has contributed significantly to enhancing the economic agenda of the SCO. We have institutionalized mechanisms like SCO Startup Forum and Special Working Group on Startup and Innovation. With a 130,000 Startups in India, including 100 unicorns, our experience can be useful to others. He mentioned the WHO s Global Center for Traditional Medicine in Gujarat and said in SCO, India has taken the initiative for a new SCO Working Group on Traditional Medicine. He said India is committed to further building on enhancing education, training, and capacitybuilding which are key pillars of India s international cooperation. He also pressed for English to be given the status of third official language in the SCO, where Mandarin and Russian are the two official languages. As more countries seek association with SCO as Observers or Dialogue Partners, we must strive to communicate better and deepen our consensus. Granting English the status of a third official language will be crucial. . He congratulated Kazakhstan for hosting a successful Summit and extended best wishes to China for the upcoming presidency of SCO. You must belogged into post a comment.

Indian Prime Minister Modi emphasized at the SCO meeting in Astana the importance of tackling terrorism as a tool for destabilization and condemned harboring terrorists. He also stressed the need for strong responses to crossborder terrorism and mentioned the significance of creating reliable supply chains through initiatives like Make in India. Additionally, Modi highlighted the importance of technology, connectivity linkages, and enhancing education and capacity-building within the SCO.

Action News Jax Now. . American casha small stack of 1 bills. WASHINGTON Small business owners are warning members of Congress about the economic burdens they re facing due to rising costs and government regulations. It was the topic of a House Small Business Committee hearing on Wednesday. Our Washington News Bureau spoke with Steve Martinez, President of Tradewinds General Contracting, Inc. It s really frustrating to see that at every turn we keep getting hammered with cost increases, said Martinez. Martinez shared these concerns with the House Committee. He argues some government regulations are barriers to increasing the housing supply at a time when communities around the country are facing housing shortages. . Small business owners also warned about labor shortages and rising costs in the supply chain, which can mean delays and higher prices for consumers. The average cost of a shipping container increasing over three times in the last 90 days alone, saidJ.D. Ewing, Chairman CEO of COE Distributing. Both Democrats and Republicans agree rising costs are a huge barrier for small businesses, but they are divided over how to tackle the problem. Republicans blame the Biden administration s economic policies, while Democrats argue big corporations are unfairly keeping costs up. We asked Martinez what he feels the federal government should do to ease the burdens on small businesses. I really do think having a look at how they re implementing regulation, said Martinez. Is this change for change s sake? Is this saving lives? Is this reducing red tape? What is the true intent? . STREAM ACTION NEWS JAX LIVE .

Published By:News Desk. Associated Press. Last Updated:July 05, 2024, 15:34 IST. Dubai, United Arab Emirates UAE. Iranians vote in a runoff election Image: AFP. Iranians voted Friday in a runoff presidential election between a hardline former nuclear negotiator and a reformist lawmaker, with both men trying to convince a skeptical public to cast ballots after years of economic woes and mass protests roiling the Islamic Republic. The race between hardliner Saeed Jalili and Masoud Pezeshkian, a heart surgeon and longtime member of parliament, comes after a first round of voting saw the lowest turnout ever for an Iranian election, leaving turnout Friday a major question. Meanwhile, wider tensions have gripped the Middle East over the IsraelHamas war in the Gaza Strip. In April, Iran launched its firstever direct attack on Israel over the war in Gaza, while militia groups that Tehran arms in the region such as the Lebanese Hezbollah and Yemen s Houthi rebels are engaged in the fighting and have escalated their attacks. Iran also continues to enrich uranium at near weaponsgrade levels and maintains a stockpile large enough to build several nuclear weapons, should it choose to do so. And while Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei remains the final decisionmaker on matters of state, whichever man ends up winning the presidency could bend the country s foreign policy toward either confrontation or collaboration with the West. A heavy security presence could be seen on the streets of Tehran on Friday, as crowds appeared light at dozens of polling places. State television broadcast scenes of modest lines at polling centers around the country. Though Pezeshzkian came out on top in the first round of voting on June 28, Jalili has been trying to secure the votes of people who supported hardline parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf, who came in third and later endorsed the former negotiator. One voter, 27yearold Yaghoub Mohammadi, said he voted for Jalili in both rounds. He is clean, without dependending on powerful people in the establishment, Mohammadi said. He represents those who have no access to power. . Voter Samira Sharafi, the 34yearold mother of a toddler, said she voted for reformist Pezeshkian, despite having voted for Qalibaf in the first round. She described him as more experienced than Jalili. There have been calls for a boycott, including from imprisoned Nobel Peace Prize laureate Narges Mohammadi, though potential voters in Iran appear to have made the decision not to participate last week on their own as there s no widely accepted opposition movement operating within or outside of the country. State television broadcast images of modest lines at select polling places around the country as polls opened Friday. As has been the case since the 1979 Islamic Revolution, women and those calling for radical change have been barred from the ballot while the vote itself will have no oversight from internationally recognized monitors. Interior Minister Ahmad Vahidi, who is in charge of overseeing the election, announced all the polls had opened at 8 a.m. local time. Khamenei cast one of the election s first votes from his residence, television cameras and photographers capturing him dropping the ballot into the box. I have heard that people s enthusiasm is more than before, Khamenei said. God willing, people vote and choose the best candidate. However, Khamenei on Wednesday said that those who didn t vote last week weren t against the country s Shiite theocracy. There are reasons behind this matter which should be examined by sociologists and those involved in politics, he said. More than 61 million Iranians over the age of 18 are eligible to vote, with about 18 million of them between 18 to 30. Elections are scheduled to end at 6 p.m. local, but traditionally get extended until midnight to boost participation. Friday s election marks only Iran s second presidential runoff since 1979. The first came in 2005, when hardliner Mahmoud Ahmadinejad bested former President Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani. Under Ahmadinejad, Iran faced international sanctions over its advancing nuclear program, as well as the 2009 Green Movement protests and the crackdown that smashed them. Pezeshkian s supporters have been warning Jalili will bring a Taliban style government into Tehran, while Jalili has criticized Pezeshkian for running a campaign of fearmongering. The election comes after the 63yearold late President Ebrahim Raisi died in a May 19 helicopter crash that also killed the country s foreign minister and others. He was seen as a protege of Khamenei and a potential successor as supreme leader. Still, many knew him for his involvement in the mass executions that Iran conducted in 1988, and for his role in the bloody crackdowns on dissent that followed protests over the 2022 death of Mahsa Amini, a young woman detained by police over allegedly improperly wearing the mandatory headscarf, or hijab.

Iranians voted in a presidential runoff election between hardliner Saeed Jalili and reformist Masoud Pezeshkian amid concerns about low turnout. The election comes against the backdrop of Middle East tensions and Iran's nuclear ambitions. Supreme Leader Khamenei holds significant power in Iranian politics, and the election could shape the country's foreign policy. Voters expressed divided opinions on the candidates, with concerns about potential outcomes. The election follows the death of President Ebrahim Raisi and heightened security measures in Tehran.

CTN News The extension of visa waivers leads to exceptional growth in the Thai tourism sector, enhancing economic prospects in both primary and secondary cities. The number ofIndian travelers to Thailandhas increased dramatically since the government implemented a visafree regime for Indian passport holders. The first phase of this program, running from November 10, 2023 to May 10, 2024, experienced a significant increase of Indian tourists compared to 2022. To keep the number of arrivals up, the government extended the visa waiver from May 11 to November 11, and this time it began stamping Indian passports for 60 days. The goal was to attract more Indian tourists to Thailand, so lessening the impact of India s outbound travel tax policy, which was raised from 5 to 20 on October 1, 2023, potentially impacting Indian travelers desire to travel abroad. Thailand will expect up to 2 million Indian tourists, which exceeds the initial aim of 1.7 million. During the first half of this year January to June, the Kingdom welcomed 1.04 million Indian visitors. This represents continual development from 2023, when 1.62 millionIndian tourists visited Thailand, up 14 from the initial target of 1.42 million. Tourists spent 38,052 baht per person on average, producing around 61.97 billion baht for the economy. However, these figures are still lower than before the epidemic in 2019, when the Indian tourist sector had 1.96 million tourists who spent an average of 40,814 baht each trip, generating more than 80.04 billion baht in income. Meanwhile, in anticipation of a potential boom in Indian tourists this year, Thai officials have been talking with various airlines to enhance aircraft capacity and itineraries. This plan takes into account the strong demand for travel among young Indians and the growing middleincome population. Available potential suggest that India will become one of the world s major aviation markets. Patsi stated that Akasa Air, a new airline, will soon begin international flights, including those to Thailand. In the first six months of this year, three airlines added new routes to Bangkok: Indigo Airlines began daily flights to and from Hyderabad on February 26; Thai Airways began three weekly flights between Kochi and Bangkok on April 2; and Thai AirAsia began three weekly flights to and from Visakhapatnam on April 9. Separately, CAAT and India s Civil Aviation Ministry agreed in March to expand available flight seats from 28,759 to 42,000 per week. Airlines responded warmly, with plans to alter aircraft sizes and expand trips. Some airlines are also aiming to add new routes, such as Thai Airways flights to and from Amritsar and Indigo Airlines flights between New Delhi and Chiang Mai or Krabi. Patsi expects these improvements to become more concrete in the coming two months as the high season approaches. Meanwhile, the top five Indian tourist destinations in Thailand are Bangkok, Chonburi, Phuket, Krabi, and Phang Nga. Phang Nga, Krabi, Phuket other than Patong Beach, Surat Thani Koh Samui, Koh Tao, and Koh Phangan, Prachuap Khiri Khan Hua Hin, and Kanchanaburi are all potential secondary cities. The majority of Indian tourists to Thailand, or 76, go alone, with the remainder opting for vacation packages. Sixtytwo percent of visitors are firsttimers, with the remaining 38 being regular visitors. The most popular activities for Indian tourists in Thailand are Thai cuisine, nightlife, beach vacations, massage and spa treatments, and visiting historical sites. Current Indian tourism trends include leisure, corporate vacations, and increased travel for weddings and anniversaries. Source:National Thailand. .

After years of litigation, the Cayuga Nation has ordered the operator of a Montezuma smoke shop to relinquish it, the nation announced Monday. In a news release, the nation's leadership council said that a writ of execution was issued Friday by Cayuga Nation Tribal Court ordering Dusty Parker to relinquish the 7153 Route 90 premises of smoke shop Pipekeepers. The order is the culmination of legal proceedings that started in 2021 when Parker began selling tobacco and cannabis under the guise of nation sovereignty, the release continued. However, Parker has not obtained nation permission for his business, violating a nation ordinance, the nation said. Parker also "consistently failed" to comply with tribal court orders. It is troubling that Mr. Parker allowed the situation to escalate to this point," said Clint Halftown, the nation's federally recognized representative, in the release. "The nation and its court have been fair and transparent throughout the process. .. The nation will not tolerate Mr. Parker pretending that Pipekeepers is a sovereign nation business while violating federal and state laws, evading taxes, and profiting from illegal activities. His illegal and unsanctioned operations are stealing profits used to fund the distributions and other benefits provided equally to all nation citizens. . Parker has filed a motion in Cayuga County Supreme Court to restrain the writ, but the nation said the motion involves an unrelated 2023 Cayuga Nation Tribal Court judgment the nation sought to domesticate. A state appeals courtruled last weekthat nation court judgments arising from fines cannot be domesticated. Parker has also appealed the writ with the nation's appellate court. Parker did not respond to a request for comment by The Citizen. The smoke shop was open as of Wednesday. Pipekeepers allegedly "stealing profits" from the nation is the premise of an ongoing federal racketeering lawsuit the nationfiledagainst the business. The nation, which claims it has lost 5 million in business to Pipekeepers, seeks 15 million in damages through the lawsuit. Parker previously operated the business in the village of Seneca Falls, and several years prior to that hebrieflyoperated a smoke shop on a piece of land parceled off from the Finger Lakes DriveIn in Aurelius. The drivein's owner, Paul Meyer, is a codefendant in the federal lawsuit, as he sold the Montezuma property where Pipekeepers is located to Parker. The nation has since bought the property next to the drivein andblockadedthat business, claiming a lease that gave Meyer use of the property for it is invalid.

AP Roughly 130 million people were under threat Saturday and into next week from a longrunning heat wave that already has broken records withdangerously high temperatures and is expected to shatter more from East Coast to West Coast, forecasters said. Oppressive heat and humidity could team up to spike temperatures above 100 degrees Fahrenheit about 38 degrees Celsius in parts of the Pacific Northwest, the MidAtlantic and the Northeast, said Jacob Asherman, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service. In Oregon, records could be broken in cities including Eugene, Portland and Salem, Asherman said. Dozens of other records throughout the U.S. could fall, Asherman said, causing millions to seek relief from the blanket of heat in cooling centers from Bullhead City, Arizona, to Norfolk, Virginia. Certainly a pretty anomalous event that we re expecting here, which looks like it will continue through at least midweek, Asherman said. At the Waterfront Blues Festival in Portland, Oregon, music fans dealt with heat Friday by drinking cold water, seeking refuge in the shade or freshening up under water misters. Angela Quiroz, 31, kept her scarf and hat wet and applied sunscreen at she protected herself from the heat at the music festival. Definitely a difference between the shade and the sun," Quiroz said. "But when you re in the sun, it feels like you re cooking.". On Friday, a new heat record for the day was set in California's Death Valley one of the hottest places on Earth. The previous high shattered by 5 degrees F, with the mercury climbing to 127 F 52.8 C. The old mark of 122 F 50 C was last tied in 2013. More extreme highs are in the near forecast, including 129 F 53.8 degrees C for Sunday at Furnace Creek in Death Valley National Park, and then around 130 54.4 C through Wednesday. The hottest temperature ever officially recorded on Earth was 134 degrees 56.67 C in Death Valley in July 1913, though some experts dispute that measurement and say the real record was 130 F 54.4 C recorded there in July 2021. There was also a record high for the date of 118 F 47.7 C in Phoenix, where highs of 115 F 46.1 C or hotter were forecast through Wednesday. In Needles, California, where the National Weather Service has records dating to 1888, the high of 122 F 50 C edged the old mark of 121 F 49.4 C set in 2007. It was 124 F 51.1 in Palm Springs, California. The worst was yet to come across much of the West, with tripledigit temperatures likely between 15 and 30 degrees 8 and 16 degrees Celsius higher than average into next week, the National Weather Service said. The Eastern U.S. also was bracing for more hot temperatures. Baltimore and others parts of Maryland were under an excessive heat warning, as heat index values could climb to 110 F 43 C, forecasters said. "Drink plenty of fluids, stay in an airconditioned room, stay out of the sun, and check up on relatives and neighbors," said a National Weather Service advisory for the Baltimore area. Young children and pets should never be left unattended in vehicles under any circumstances. . In Arizona s Maricopa County, which encompasses Phoenix, there have been at least 13 confirmed heatrelated deaths this year, along with more than 160 other suspected heat deaths are still under investigation, according to the county s most recent report. That does not include the death of a 10yearold boy earlier this week in Phoenix who suffered a heatrelated medical event while hiking with family at South Mountain Park and Preserve, according to police.

In the past decade, Jammu and Kashmir has witnessed a rise in 'political startups' in the Valley, but these outfits have largely failed to make a significant impact during elections, according to politicians and analysts. Among the emerging political groups are the Jammu and Kashmir Nationalist People's Front, Bharat Jodo Yatra, and JK Peoples Movement. However, many have either not contested elections or faced defeat in the Lok Sabha polls. Veteran CPIM politician, Mohammed Yusuf Tarigami, noted that these startups often start strong but 'disappear like lost planets when elections are held.'. Echoing this sentiment, PDP leader Waheed Para highlighted that the lack of popular support undermines these startups, which he claims discredit democratic spaces. Para pointed to businessmanturnedpolitician Altaf Bukhari's JK Apni Party as an example. Prominent activist Firdous argued that these leaders focus on political relevance over addressing regional issues, showing opportunistic tendencies. Socioenvironmental activist Dr Touseef Bhatt mentioned that despite representing a new political wave, these startups struggle with limited experience and resources, depending on external funding which questions their sustainability. While aimed at engaging young Kashmiris and addressing local issues, the future influence of political startups in the region remains uncertain. Disclaimer: With inputs from agencies.

And for victims of the previous administration s socalled war against illegal drugs, this is a cause for concern, especially as they expect the issuance of arrest warrants against former president Rodrigo Duterte and others who are behind the deadly killings. The development that Lito Patay one of the implementers, one of the worst recorded violators during the war on drugs is now Davao City police chief is concerning to us, ICC Assistant to Counsel Kristina Conti told Storycon on One News yesterday. I don t know how it would work in the context of a possible warrant of arrest against his former principal, Rodrigo Duterte, and even Ronald Bato Dela Rosa, she added, referring to the incumbent senator who was Duterte s first police chief and implementer of his antiillegal drug campaign. A Reuters report earlier found that the Batasan Station of the Quezon City Police District led by Patay recorded the highest number of killings during antidrug operations conducted in the first year of Duterte. In May 2022, a little over a month before the end of Duterte s term, Malaca ang cleared Patay of an administrative charge filed in relation to the death of a minor during a police operation in Payatas, Quezon City in 2016. Patay was appointed Davao city police chief earlier this week following the removal of several officers. Conti, who represents victims and families in the ICC case, said they will study their next steps with regard to Patay s appointment. The problem is that this is an assignment, not a promotion. He was not given a higher rank where it is possible to file a complaint, she said in a mix of English and Filipino. Still, she raised a question as to why he was appointed in Davao. While Patay was not included in public documents released by the ICC, Conti said they have repeatedly mentioned his name in several of their submissions, citing his role in the implementation of the drug war. Conti said there is a rumor the ICC is also asking for more witnesses who can identify who among the accused are most responsible. The ICC is looking at official, midlevel. I don t know . if top level. It may reach up to Albayalde, Conti said, referring to former police chief Oscar Albayalde. Conti said the new witnesses being asked by the ICC should be those who actually received the instruction from the principal accused in the implementation of Duterte s bloody war on drugs. Asked if Patay can qualify as state witness, Conti said: At this point, not yet. Yes, any of the alleged perpetrators can become witnesses. ICC called insider witnesses. They can be the one to say how exactly the instruction was conducted. If no one admits, nothing will be known. . Conti said they are confident that arrest warrants, particular for those who are deemed as the most responsible, will be released within the year. But she said they do not expect it to be publicly announced by the ICC, given that these issuances are often treated as confidential. A major problem, she said, is serving and implementing the warrant since ICC mainly relies on governments to enforce it. President Marcos recently maintained that the ICC has no jurisdiction over the Philippines, but Duterte s allies earlier questioned why he refused to put his position in writing. On reports that the ICC prosecutor is asking for more witnesses, Conti said she has no knowledge of it, but said it could be because they are trying to identify who else are responsible. She said it is possible that arrests warrants will be issued for some individuals while investigation is ongoing for the others. On their end, she said they are already preparing for trial because that s where we will have a more material role. . We re waiting for trial and the presentation of evidence to prove that these persons are all guilty, said Conti. Jose Rodel Clapano, Emmanuel Tupas, Diana Lhyd Suelto.

Since Gov. Gavin Newsom first announced plans to raise wages for fastfood workers in California, bothrestaurant chain executivesandfranchiseeshave warned about the impacts it could have on their businesses. As well as having toraise menu prices, some critics of the legislation warned that the higher wages could lead to restaurants laying off some of their workers, or even closing down. Despite intensive lobbying from the fastfood industry, the new wage of 20 an hour for quickservice chains with at least 60 locations nationwide went into force on April 1. The California Business and Industrial Alliance certainly isn't happy with the legislation. It took out afullpage adin USA Today in early June featuring mock obituaries for brands it says were "victims" of the new minimum wage. The CABIA claimed in the ad that nearly 10,000 jobs had been cut between September, when Newsom signed the law, and January. "Governor Newsom's bad policy remains indefensible, and workers and businesses are suffering for it," Tom Manzo, founder of the CABIA, told Business Insider over email. "It is obvious what is happening to the Fast Food industry no matter how Team Newsom spins the numbers.". The CABIA ad citeddatafrom the Hoover Institution, a public policy think tank and unit of Stanford University thataims to"limit government intrusion into the lives of individuals.". It's unclear where the Hoover Institution got its 9,500 figure from, though it did link a report byThe Wall Street Journal,which said it used state figures. Business Insider could not independently verify these figures, as data from both theCalifornia Employment Development Departmentand the US Bureau of Labor Statistics shows a drop of about 11,600 jobs when not seasonally adjusted. The CABIA's argument was based on a drop in employment between September and January. But BLS data shows that employment in California's limitedservice restaurant industry dips in the winter. In every year for at least the last decade, employment has been lower in January than in the preceding September. It's typically at its lowest in January and its highest in August. Related stories. The BLS data includes employment at all limitedservice restaurants, including those exempt from the new minimum wage. Seasonallyadjusted BLS figures, whichtake yearly fluctuations into account, show that employment in California's limitedservice restaurant industry actually rose by about 6,000 people between September and January. "California's fast food industry has added jobs every month this year, including roughly 10,600 new jobs in the two months since Governor Gavin Newsom signed the fast food minimum wage bill into law," his office said in a recentpress release. The following graph, made using BLS data, shows that employment in limitedservice restaurants in California has been higher than 2023 levels for every month so far this year when not seasonally adjusted. However, Newsom's remarks have to be taken with a pinch of salt, too. The yearoveryear growth in limitedservice restaurant employment is a continuation of a trend seen before the pandemic, too, with total employment in the industry growing every year. And the monthonmonth growth in employment so far this year is nothing new. Employment typically grows in the buildup to the summer. It is clear some fastfood chains havelaid off workers in California, including in some cases by closing restaurants, partly in response to the new legislation.Seasonallyadjusted BLS datasuggests that there has been a small dip in workers in California's limitedservice restaurant industry about 2,500 since January. However, the BLS statistics suggest that the situation is not as dire as the CABIA paints it to be. The 20 minimum wage was introduced to support workers in a state with a notoriously high cost of living. The fastfood industry is generally known for low pay, with some workers having to pick up a second job to make ends meet. Analysts previously told BI that the legislation is also expected to boost wages in other industries, as employers will face more competition for workers.

Governor Gavin Newsom raised the minimum wage for fast-food workers in California to $20/hour despite pushback from the industry. A group claims 10,000 jobs were lost due to the wage hike, but data shows a seasonal decline in winter. Employment in limited-service restaurants has increased since the law took effect. Despite some layoffs, the impact may not be as severe as predicted. The wage increase aims to help workers cope with California's high living costs and could lead to higher wages in other industries.

With Independence Day not that far back in the rearview mirror, the strains of patriotic tunes are probably still fresh in your mind. One of my favorites is the Ray Charles recording of "America the Beautiful," a song deeply connected to Massachusetts. "America the Beautiful" was written by Katharine Lee Bates, a professor and writer from Falmouth, Massachusetts, born on August 12, 1859. Bates' father died when she was just weeks old, and she was raised by her mother and an aunt. TheNational Park ServiceNPS wrote, "Welleducated women themselves, they Bates' mother and aunt sent Bates to high school and then to Wellesley College." Bates graduated from Wellesley in 1880 and began teaching nearby. A noted writer of children's poetry and storybooks, Bates used prize money won to fund a trip to England, where she studied at Oxford University for two years. Upon her return to Massachusetts in 1891, Bates became a professor of English literature at Wellesley College, where she earned a master's degree. In the summer of 1893, Bates taught English at the Colorado Summer School in Colorado Springs. The NPS stated Bates and several teacher friends climbed Pike's Peak in the Rocky Mountains in a wagon pulled by a mule. Upon returning to her hotel, Bates wrote the first draft of a poem that would become the song "America the Beautiful.". "From her perch on top of one of the 'purple mountain majesties,' Bates was able to look out over the prairie grasses and wheat fields of Kansas," the NPS wrote. "She memorialized them in her song as 'amber waves of grain.". Bates was involved in a committed relationship with Katharine Coman for almost three decades. Coman was a professor of history at Wellesley College. Katharine Lee Bates died on March 28, 1929, in Wellesley. She was 69. Bates is buried at the Oak Grove Cemetery in Falmouth, Massachusetts. A statue of her stands outside of the Falmouth Public Library. Gallery Credit: Kyle Matthews

Katharine Lee Bates, born in Massachusetts in 1859, was a professor and writer who wrote "America the Beautiful." She was well-educated and taught English at Wellesley College. Bates penned the song after a trip to Colorado, inspired by the landscape. She had a long-term relationship with Katharine Coman, also a professor. Bates passed away in 1929 and is buried in Falmouth, Massachusetts.

Sunny. High around 90F. Winds light and variable.. Clear skies. Low near 65F. Winds light and variable. Updated: July 11, 2024 11:54 am. . The Louisiana legislature has passed into law a bill HB 71 that would require the display of the Ten Commandments in all public schools, a blatant breach of the separation of the state and church. Many will know that these ten statements Aseret haDibrot include a belief in one G d, and the observance of the sabbath the first four and the rest deal with relations between human beings. Try to explain adultery to a second grader? It is an attempt to impose a JudeoChristian doctrine, forgetting that many Americans belong to different religious traditions or none at all. The same with, In G d We Trust, now being legislated to appear in our public schools, here and elsewhere. For example, SB 152 in our state legislature. It is a motto adopted by the U.S. in 1956 during the Cold War. As was, by the way, under G d in the Pledge of Allegiance in 1954. My preference is, E pluribus unum out of many one a true description of our American identity. Oddly, it is the GOP state legislatures, the party of less government, who are imposing mandates on every aspect of our lives, on our religious beliefs or none, restrictions on women s reproductive choices, curtailing LGBTQ rights, defining gender identity, and most importantly, on placing obstacles for U.S. citizens to vote without restrictions and obstructions. Sadly, the old GOP is gone. It is now in the hands of Christian nationalists, about 30 of our population, intolerant of those who are different from them. And dangerously, antidemocratic, with a small d. Good that most American voters are women and people with other traditions and identities. Religion divides.

North Korea's state media on Sunday called for loyalty to its leader Kim Jongun ahead of the death anniversary of the founder of the country, Kim Ilsung, later this week, amid tensions over the North's weapons testing and defense pact with Russia. The North's main newspaper, Rodong Sinmun, made the call as the nation is set to mark the 30th anniversary of the death of Kim Ilsung, who ruled the country from 1948 to 1994 and is the grandfather of the current ruler, Kim Jongun, on Monday. State media refer to Kim Ilsung by the title "great leader.". Kim Jongun's hair and fashion style early in his rule was similar to that of Kim Ilsung, with observers saying the look was intended to secure loyalty from the public and consolidate power. North Korea usually holds big commemorative ceremonies on every fifth or 10th anniversary of a major national event. The country held largescale commemorations for the 20th and 25th death anniversaries of the late founder in 2014 and 2019, respectively. Yonhap

President Biden told the nation Monday night that the Supreme Court'simmunity rulingissued earlier in the day means "there are virtually no limits" now on a president's actions. In brief remarks from the White House, Biden said the court majority enacted "a fundamentally new principle," perCBS News, which he said set "a dangerous precedent, because the power of the office will no longer be constrained by the law, even including the Supreme Court of the United States.". The address constituted the first public remarks by the president since he debated Donald Trump on Thursday night. Biden referred to his opponent on Monday night, perCNN. "I know I will respect the limits of the presidential powers I've had for 3 years, but any president, including Donald Trump, will now be free to ignore the law," he said. "There are no kings in America," Biden said, a point also made in a blistering dissent by Justice Sonia Sotomayor. He echoed her closing line, as well: "With fear for our democracy, I dissent."

To enjoy additional benefits. Published July 03, 2024 07:18 am IST. At least116 people died and over 200 were injured in a stampedeat a religious event in Hathras district of Uttar Pradesh on July 2. The incident occurred during a satsang prayer meeting organised byselfstyled godman Narayan Sakar Hariin Fulrai village under the Sikandrarau police station area of Hathras district, which was reportedly attended by over one lakh people, mostly women. Inspector General of Police for the Aligarh Range, Shalabh Mathur, said 116 bodies were identified so far, of which 27 were sent to the Etah mortuary and the rest were in Hathras. Bodies were sent to nerarby places for postmortem as we intend to hand over the bodies to their families as soon as possible, Mr. Mathur said. He said a First Information Report was being registered against the organisers of the event under relevant Sections. Heartwrenching visuals were shared by eyewitnesses from the spot in which bodies were lying outside the postmortem house whilekin of the deceased were crying for help. Eyewitnesses claimed that no ambulance was available at the spot and the police failed to control the crowd that went out of control when devotees rushed to greet the godman, at the end of the satsang . According to Sikandrarau subdivisional magistrate Ravendra Kumar, the devotees also wanted to collect some soil from around the baba s feet. How can they allow such a big event to happen when there was no preparedness for any untoward incident, asked Sumit Kumar, an eyewitness, who said the death toll could cross 150. At a community health care centre in Hathras, people started protesting when no doctor was available to attend the injured persons. Videos of people taking bodies and the injured in tempos also went viral on social media. Ashish Kumar, District Magistrate, Hathras, said permission for the event was given by the subdivisional magistrate and that the rest of the arrangements were supposed to be done by the organisers. He said that in the initial investigation, it was found that more than double the number of attendees reached the event than those permitted. Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath formed a committee to investigate the cause. Mr. Adityanath said instructions had been given to officials to take up relief and rescue operations on a war footing and to provide proper treatment to the injured. The State Government announced an ex gratia of 2 lakh to those who died and 50,000 to the injured. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, leader of the opposition Rahul Gandhi and Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge offered their condolences to the bereaved families. Suraj Pal or Bhole Baba , the constableturnedspiritual preacher has a considerable following in western and central U.P., and prominent political leaders have also been seen in his programmes. Local sources said Mr. Pal had been a constable with the Uttar Pradesh Police until the 1990s in the local intelligence unit when he turned to spirituality, adopted a new name, and started giving public sermons about leading a pious life. He described himself as a disciple of Narayan Sakar Hari and asked his followers to find the Almighty within. Local media sources said mismanagement was common in the congregations. It was written about but the administration showed a soft corner towards Pal s ashram. Even during the COVID lockdown, his followers were allowed to worship at the ashram, said a local journalist. At Patiyali, which has voted for the Samajwadi Party candidate in the just concluded Lok Sabha polls, meanings are already being drawn about the political affiliation of Mr. Pal. While Bharatiya Janata Party supporters used social media to point out that SP president Akhilesh Yadav had shared the stage with Mr. Pal in 2023, SP sources accused BJP affiliates of using Mr. Pal to mislead Dalits by keeping them away from the Ambedkarite movement.

By LIU YUKUN in Beijing and YUAN HUI in Hohhot China Daily Updated: 20240702 09:29. North China's Inner Mongolia autonomous region will fully leverage its environmental and natural resource advantages to accelerate the development of the green computing industry, aiming to become one of China's key computing power hubs, officials and experts said recently. Wang Lixia, chairwoman of the autonomous region, said Inner Mongolia has cool weather with temperatures lower than the national average, which helps ensure the performance of computing devices. The region also boasts the largest wind and solar power installed capacity nationwide, which can supply abundant green electricity to energyconsuming computing devices. The remarks were made at the 2024 China Green Computing Power Conference held on Saturday in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia. At the conference, 13 projects were signed involving a total investment of 61.35 billion yuan 8.4 billion. These projects cover upstream computing equipment manufacturing, midstream infrastructure construction, downstream computing applications as well as operational and maintenance services. Several partnerships were also initiated at the conference including transferring computing workloads from Beijing to resourcerich Inner Mongolia. The conference also announced the setting up of a computing power resource management platform and a data trading center in Hohhot. In recent years, Inner Mongolia has stepped up efforts for computing power development. In June, it rolled out 16 supportive measures, covering optimizing industrial layout, strengthening electricity supply, expanding application scenarios and cultivating talent. Such efforts have borne fruit. As one of the 10 data center clusters in the national "east data, west computing" initiative a move launched to optimize the layout of computing infrastructure and to enhance overall supply capabilities the Horinger Green Computing Power Development Research Center, which was unveiled at the first China Green Computing Power Conference, currently has a server installation capacity exceeding 3.7 million units. Its total computing power has reached 47,000 petaFLOPS, with intelligent computing power accounting for 41,000 petaFLOPS, ranking among the top nationwide. By the end of this year, the center's server installation capacity is expected to surpass 4 million units, with a total computing power reaching 65,000 petaFLOPS, including 58,000 petaFLOPS of intelligent computing power. Inner Mongolia is a microcosm of the rapid development of China's computing power industry.

Meanwhile, China is accelerating the construction of a nationwide integrated computing power system, facilitating the rapid flow of data elements. The country has launched the "east data, west computing" initiative to build data center clusters in less developed western regions and transfer workloads there from the more developed eastern regions that boast high demand for computing power. Li Donghong, deputy director of the Institute for Global Industry at Tsinghua University, said that computing power is a high energyconsuming sector and called for the promotion of emerging energysaving products and efforts to enhance energy efficiency and increase the proportion of green energy use.

THE naked truth might well be more uncomfortable than having sand in your undies when it comes to charity fundraising the Guerns are far happier going the full monty. Island naturist Ross Mantle was hoping to organise a mass charity skinny dip to raise cash for Jersey Hospice, but has been told that his plan is a little too cheeky for Jersey s beach regulations. Under rules that date from a time when Simon Cowell was in nappies and rationing had ended only five years before, he was told that the situation was clear nudity on a beach was likely to offend public decency. Mr Mantle had hoped to hold his mass skinny dip at Bonne Nuit on 13 July. I did initially have approval from St John Constable Andy Jehan, he explained. He seemed to be more worried about the parking arrangements than anything else. I emailed the States police and they went through all the laws. The police constable said that as long as people were aware and we put up signs, the States police would not need to attend unless there was a complaint. Mr Jehan was very sympathetic and he supports Jersey Hospice. I think he was on my side and then he sent me an email saying it was off. He said that there were regulations and, with regret, apologised. I have no qualms with the Constable. I suspect that the old guard said no. I wrote to several Constables who didn t even want to consider my proposal. They just said, It s illegal. Bye . I did get a positive response from Mark Labey in Grouville as well. . The officer explained that the relevant law was the Policing of Beaches Jersey Regulations 1959. Section 2 of the regulations states that No person shall, on any beach, behave or be clothed in any manner reasonably likely to offend against public decency. . Mr Mantle said: 1959 was before the flowerpower movement and several other things: the Moon landings and the Vietnam War. These regulations are ancient history. What is considered public decency has moved on. . Mr Mantle has holidayed at nature resorts across Europe, and said that it was commonplace on the Continent for beaches to be half gloved and half naturist. I think Jersey is very behind the times, he said: Even Guernsey has opened their doors to this. The main thing was to raise money for charity in a fun way, and very kindly Jersey Hospice agreed that they would accept the money we raised. Apparently in Guernsey they had to try several charities before they found one which would accept it. . For the past three years up to around 70 people have bared all and jumped in the Sarnian briny, raising thousands in the process. They have had no complaints in Guernsey, so I thought it was time we did it in Jersey. The British Naturism association are involved in 555 skinny dips in the UK this year. They are held in little towns and villages. . Mr Jehan said: I am very much in favour. I am someone who tries to facilitate and enable things to happen. However, the advice Mr Mantle had from the police included the fact that, from the legislation they saw, the event would most likely breach the regulations. What I cannot do is say yes , when it is against the law. . He added that it might be possible to organise something with a little more time, explaining that he had had just a few weeks notice of the event planned for 13 July. I think it would be OK with early notice on the beach to say this is happening in two weeks time and that if you are easily offended go to a different beach, Mr Jehan said. Why wouldn t you support this? Jersey Hospice touches on everyone s lives, sadly. I hope we can find a solution. If Guernsey can do it, surely we can do it. .

New York Yankees fans are very much hoping this is temporary, but over the last month or so, Juan Soto's production has dipped. It was bound to happen at some point, we're not denying that. Even the best of the best go through slumps or downward trends. But the timing of Soto's "struggles" for his standards is quite bizarre. For one, they may have coincided with his injury scares. That goes back to the series against the LA Dodgers in early June when he missed the weekend set with forearm discomfort. Those two minor ailments could very well be affecting him. Not to mention, he made a nice catch against the Reds this past week and crashed into the right field wall at Yankee Stadium, after which he appeared to be in some pain.He could be a tad banged up. This Juan Soto swing miss sure didn't look good. Soto remains in the game.pic.twitter.com4qh1fRnjhT. Or .. he could be catching the infamous "Yankees Disease" that so many before him have succumbed to. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have yet to officially acknowledge the ailment related to putting on a Yankees jersey in recent years, but perhaps a Soto case study can give them the evidence they need. Though Joey Gallo and Josh Donaldson were already on the downward spiral prior to their arrival in New York, they experienced careerworst stretches after being acquired via trade. Lance Lynn. Sonny Gray. Frankie Montas injury. Scott Effross injury. The list goes on. Don't forget about the prospects that stall out the moment they arrive at TripleA or get the bump to the bigs. Don't forget about the free agency signings that fall apart DJ LeMahieu, Carlos Rod n for significant stretches. Don't forget about the inexplicable regressions Gleyber Torres. Many of the drastic swings in overall production certainly have to do with the team "vibes," which are at an alltime low right now. So is itreallya coincidence that Soto is batting .174 with a .669 OPS over his last seven games and .211 with an .823 OPS buoyed by a ridiculous .429 OBP over his last 24 games?. Before we get too pessimistic, there's also the reality that pitchers are doing their best to avoid the slugger because .. the rest of the Yankees lineup cannot hit beyond Soto and Judge. Though Judgehasn't really missed a beat, his last week of action has been terrible.130 AVG, .361 OPS, zero extrabase hits, zero RBI. In short, teams are starting to "figure things out" here. Probably some good notes for Aaron Boone to take when it comes to handling Rafael Devers. Just a thought. "The energy is still up, we're still believing and grinding every day"Juan Soto on how the Yankees are weathering the storm:pic.twitter.comvlmFL9q5mt. Soto could be working harder to make something happen with how mundanethe Yankees' performance has been. Trying to do too much has killed Yankees players' production before, as we know too well. And while this isn't a trend with his overall play, it's worth keeping an eye on because we're now well into a month of headscratching output six extrabase hits, 10 RBI, 15 strikeouts and a .395 slugging. The Yankees are 617 over their last 23 games, which is the worst mark in MLB. No other team in the entire league has gone 616 or worse this season, not even the White Sox. And it's all coincided with Soto's slight downturn, the rest of the team turning into mannequins, and Aaron Boone's inability to steer the ship. When will it end? We truly don't know. But the longer it drags on, the less likely Soto returns for 2025 and beyond. We'll leave it at that. manual. 2024Minute Media All Rights Reserved.

Juan Soto's performance has dipped recently, possibly due to injury scares and being banged up. Some speculate he might be affected by the "Yankees Disease," where players struggle after joining the team. The team's overall low morale and poor performance may also be impacting Soto. While pitchers are avoiding him, the rest of the Yankees lineup is failing to contribute. As the team continues to struggle and Soto's performance remains questionable, concerns arise about his future with the team.

. Governor Mohammad Bago of Niger State has been making waves, particularly in the area of food security. Bago s recent speech at the 2023 annual Leadership Newspaper Conference and Awards held in Abuja garnered significant attention online. He had one clear message: Nigeria must harness its agricultural potential to achieve economic freedom and eradicate poverty. In his speech, Bago emphasised two points. First, Nigeria cannot achieve true economic independence without leveraging its agricultural strengths. Second, Nigeria has the capability to feed its population and even export surplus produce. With both of these points, Bago urged Nigeria to embrace its agricultural heritage and move away from dependency on external aid. Governor Bago s commitment to food security is not just rhetoric. He has laid out an ambitious plan for Niger State to become a model of agricultural productivity. By June 2025, the state aims to deliver and distribute around 150,000 metric tons of grain, surpassing the federal government s promise of 42,000 metric tons. This initiative is part of a broader strategy to cultivate one million hectares of farmland, including a 50,000hectare fully irrigated food production hub. The state has already procured over 500 largecapacity tractors, thousands of pieces of irrigation equipment, and substantial quantities of fertilisers, herbicides, pesticides, and fungicides. Bago s vision for Niger is rooted in a historical understanding of Nigeria s economic development. Before the discovery of crude oil, the nation s regions thrived on agriculture, with revenues from groundnuts, cocoa, and palm oil funding significant infrastructure projects. The governor clearly aims to revive this model, recognising that agriculture has a unique capacity to generate employment and wealth. Calmly and gradually, Governor Bago is leading a revolution in food security in Niger. In more than one way, he is setting an example for other Nigerian states, one that encompasses productivity, selfreliance, and the importance of agriculture in economic development.

His strategy is rooted in reviving Nigeria's pre-oil agricultural prosperity to create employment and wealth, setting an example for other states.

Finance Banking,Incident Breach Response,Industry Specific. A ransomware attack against Evolve Bank Trust triggered a small cascade of secondary breach notifications by current and past clients of the bankingasaservice company. See Also:Securing the Cloud for Financial Services. Russianspeaking ransomwareasaservice operation LockBit attacked the Arkansas company in May after "an employee inadvertently clicked on a malicious internet link," Evolvedisclosed. Evolve said preliminary investigation results show that hackers stole names, Social Security numbers, bank account numbers and contact information for most of its personal banking customers, as well as for customers of its bankingasaplatform business. In a regulatory filing, Affirmsaidit "believes that the personal information of Affirm Card users was compromised as part of Evolve's cybersecurity incident." Affirm shares customer information with Evolve as part of the card issuance process. The filing says the ransomware incident didn't affect Affirm customers' ability to continue buying things now and paying for them later. Also caught up in the breach is money transfer service Wise, whichsaidit worked with Evolve from 2020 until 2023. Data shared with the Arkansas company included name, address, contact information and data of birth, as well as Social Security number or similar identifiers for international customers. "Evolve has not yet confirmed to us what data has been impacted," Wise said. Highinterest, low credit score, nonbank credit card company Mercury Financial, which uses Evolve to issue cards, istellingcustomers that hackers may have stolen their data. Information at risk includes "some account numbers, deposit balances, business owner names, and emails associated with mercury and other fintech accounts.". Fintech startups and Evolve clients EarnIn, Marqeta and Melio earliertoldTechCrunch they are monitoring the incident for potential fallout. LockBit initially claimed the extortion episode as an attack against the U.S. Federal Reserve possibly because an affiliate spotted a stolen document that said "United States Federal Reserve" and assumed the victim was the central bank.

Affirm believes customer data was compromised, but services remain unaffected. Wise and Mercury Financial also warned customers of potential data theft. The incident is being monitored by other fintech startups associated with Evolve.

Crunch talks on resolving the Aer Lingus pilots pay row adjourned for a period on Wednesday night but are due to restart later with some prospect of a final deal on the horizon. The news comes after Aer Lingus cancelled 25 flights across Monday, July 15th and Tuesday, July 16th shortly before union leaders began considering a 17.75 pay increase offered to pilots in a bid to end the dispute. The carrier added that it will announce the axing of further flights on Thursday morning. So far Aer Lingus has dropped 573 services since pilots began refusing to work overtime or accept roster changes under a work to rule initiated two weeks ago. Irish Airline Pilots Association Ialpa officials are weighing the 17.75 per cent pay rise offered to Aer Lingus members in a Labour Courtbrokered deal to which the company has already agreed. Union sources were hopeful of a final breakthrough in the dispute. However, it emerged earlier on Wednesday that while Ialpa executives could back the pay offer, they had raised concerns about Aer Lingus punitive actions against pilots. These include changing sick leave terms and declaring that some pilots observing the work to rule failed to show for their flights, something that could ultimately lead to dismissal. The union has yet to formally support or reject the Labour Court s proposals. The court on Wednesday responded to a request from Ialpa officials to clarify parts of a deal offering members at Aer Lingus pay rises of 17.75 per cent over three years. The union s executive had sought the clarification to aid its officials in deciding whether or not to recommend the proposal to pilots, who must vote on it. It met on Wednesday afternoon to discuss the response. Executive members of Ialpa, part of trade union F rsa, met on Tuesday to discuss the Labour Court recommendation of an extra 17.75 per cent. However, they held off on issuing any recommendation one way or the other to members pending the court s clarification of several points. Once Ialpa s executive decides on its position, meetings with members and a ballot will follow, a process that could take several days. Whatever position Ialpa officials adopt is seen as crucial to ending the dispute, as its members are likely to support this when they vote. Aer Lingus has already confirmed it would agree to the deal. Should pilots not accept the deal, Ialpa is likely to step up current industrial action at the airline which included an eighthour strike along with the work to rule. A key issue for Ialpa officials is their understanding of how the terms of the Labour Court recommendation affect different groups within the union. Along with the pay increase, the court recommends replacing Aer Lingus s two pay scales with just one, boosting allowances and dropping an agreement allowing pilots to take extra summer leave.

The Aer Lingus pilots' pay row talks were adjourned with hopes of reaching a final deal after flight cancellations. The 17.75% pay increase offer is being considered, but concerns about punitive actions by Aer Lingus linger. The union is yet to formally support or reject the proposal, awaiting clarification and planning member meetings and a vote. Acceptance is crucial for ending the dispute, or potential escalation of industrial action.

A Russian attack on a power facility in Ukraine has left 100,000 people without power in the northeastern region of Sumy. Work is under way to restore power, National grid operator Ukrenergo said, following the strikes, which caused emergency shutoffs for consumers in the city and region of Sumy, which borders Russia. There were no reports of casualties or damage apart from the energy facility, Reuters reports. Russia continues to pummel energy facilities across Ukraine, often plunging the country into extended blackouts with people enduring sweltering summer conditions without running water, air conditioning,or lifesaving medical equipment. Over the past three months alone, Ukraine has lost nine gigawatts of generating capacity, the national energy company Ukrenergo says, losing all of its thermal power plants to enemy action and seeing all hydroelectric sites damaged by drones or missile strikes. This is enough to power the whole of the Netherlands during peak hours of consumption, and more than a third of the capacity Ukraine had before Russia s fullscale invasion began in February 2022, according to the national grid operator. Poland has been diverting surplus electricity to Ukraine to help it cope with the Russian strikes, but Ukrenego has scheduled cutoffs of electricity throughout the day across the country as domestic generation and electricity imports could not cover the deficit. Maria Tsaturian from Ukrenergo told the BBC she is aware that a lot of anger is directed at her company for cutting electricity so often, for so long and for so many customers. But, she says, there's no other option. "We are at war. The energy sector is one of the goals for the Russian terrorists. And it is obvious why: all our life, all our civilisation, is built on electricity, she says. This is the price we pay for freedom.". Meanwhile, Ukrainian air defences shot down 24 out of 27 Shahed kamikaze drones Russia launched on the night of 56 July, the Air Force Command has reported on Telegram. The drones were intercepted over areas including the Sumy region, using electronic jamming and antiair defences, it said. As Nato marked its 75th anniversary, it said Ukraine was on an "irreversible path" towards membership. The alliance also pledges more aid to Ukraine, but China warns it to stop "provoking confrontation". India says Prime Minister Narendra Modi raised the issue with President Putin during his visit to Russia. Watch BBC Verify's visual analysis of the strike which killed two adults and injured 300.

Russian attack on a power facility in Ukraine leaves 100,000 without power in Sumy. Ukraine struggles to restore power amid Russian strikes, losing generating capacity and facing frequent blackouts, impacting daily life.

NATO supports Ukraine's path to membership, while China warns against confrontation. The situation highlights the sacrifices made for freedom in times of war.

NEWS.. BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT. Nigel Farage s first press conference as an MP descended into chaos before it had even started after it was taken over by multiple hecklers.

Mr Farage was met with jeers as he walked in and then started repeatedly saying boring to try and drown out those who kept interrupting. Follow the latest news on the 2024 General Election onMetro.co.uk s live blog. His supporters booed the hecklers, who were removed from the venue in Westminster but not without Mr Farage having a few cross words with them. Are you downwind a couple already? he said to one protestor who started shouting at him and implied he was drunk. You ve had a bigger lunch than I have. Cor, he s absolutely steaming isn t he? That s all right, there s still plenty of beer left in the pub, mate. . The heckling continued and as a fourth protestor interrupted, Mr Farage said: You ll do yourself a nasty mate. you ll have a stroke if you carry on like this. .

He shouted bye darling as she was removed and questioned: Any more for any more? . After a pause, a man shouted: Actually, yes! . To get the latest news from the capital visit Metro.co.uk'sLondon news hub. Mr Farage added: We haven t organised this very well, have we? .

You have a 100 promise on that. . Mr Farage said Reform UK s focus will be on going afterLabourvotes and said: Old Labour was very, very patriotic. It believed in the country. It believed in its people. New Labour, far less so. And the journey that Lee Anderson has been on is a journey that at least a couple of million people have been on, and it ll be many, many more by the time we re finished, because no doubt, our priority now is to go after Labour votes. That is what we re going to be doing. . But the drama didn t end there. WhenChannel 4asked Mr Farage a question, he laughed and said stitchup merchants . He has launched a series of attacks against the broadcaster after it reported that a canvasser for his party had used racist language. Channel 4 then asked him about the leadership and direction of the party, to which he responded that he would stay at the helm but indicated that by the 2029 election somebody younger and betterlooking will have come along. He added: I think this was going to be the first step of a very, very big journey that this was a five year plan. Protests and a 'load of nonsense': MPs take different approaches to swearing in. I'm an American in the UK. Brits don't realise how good they have it. As a trans person, I fear a Labour government. Farage uses first speech to insult exspeaker as new parliament meets. I believe with structure, funding, professionalism, we can be in a very, very serious position to contest the 2029 general election.

Current conditions in Dubuque, IA. . Perhaps the only thing mounting faster than the fines against a Cedar Rapids, Iowa, developer who owns an iconic but decaying Dubuque building is the level of frustration of neighbors, city officials and the general public. After months make that years of waiting for developer Steve Emerson to make good on plans to breathe new life into the North End s Dubuque Brewing and Malting Co. building, all we ve got to show for it is half a building that still appears a bit precarious, a street that s been closed for more than a year and now a large pile of rubble that doesn t seem to be going anywhere. Emerson purchased the property in 2017 with the goal of spending 30 million to rehabilitate it and turn it into a mixeduse facility including apartments, commercial and retail space. It s entirely possible Emerson came into this project with the best of intentions, and the challenges just kept piling up, preventing him from turning the former HW building into a renovated, cool new apartment complex. But we re now months into a laundry list of broken promises, and city officials who intend to hold Emerson accountable are right and justified. As recently as last fall, Emerson lamented that if he could only secure historic tax credits for the project, then the wheels would really be set in motion. Meanwhile, last month the City Council signed off on endorsements for several proposed Dubuque housing projects currently seeking funding assistance through state tax credits. In total, the projects could add more than 150 new rental units to the community. Housing projects need an official endorsement by council to support the applications to the Iowa Economic Development Authority for workforce housing tax credits. In fact, it was the most housing tax credit applications for local projects that Dubuque has seen in a single year. Do you know who did not apply for the city s endorsement of state tax credits? You guessed it. Steve Emerson. Meanwhile, the site keeps getting worse. On April 30, a D.W. Zinser wrecking ball took down the south end of the iconic 1895 brick structure at 3000 Jackson St. and two of its three imposing Romanesque towers. And the rubble of that deconstruction remains in long piles on 30th Street. Steve Emerson was given until June 21 to clear the street and make it safe to open, but the deadline has come and gone, and Emerson appears to be ghosting city housing officials. Not just an eyesore, the building presents a safety issue. A brick facade still standing along 30th Street has become detached from the primary structure and needs to be stabilized or demolished. For the people who live in the shadow of the behemoth, onceiconic building, the past few years have had a significant negative impact on quality of life. From closed streets to piles of debris to a huge safety threat, the work on the building looms large over the neighborhood. Though city officials now have given Emerson an Aug. 31 deadline to clean up the debris, council members have also called the situation unacceptable. . It s been unacceptable for a while now. The city must continue to press Emerson until the situation is resolved. He must continue to make progress, and the city must hold him accountable. The days of focusing on the preservation of this iconic building are sadly over. Now the focus must be on ensuring the safety and quality of life of area residents. Editorials reflect the consensus of the Telegraph Herald Editorial Board. City officials must hold accountable the owner of the dilapidated Dubuque Brewing and Malting Co. building. . .

BUCHAREST, Romania A court in Romania s capital ruled Friday that social media influencer Andrew Tate can leave Romania but must remain within the European Union as he awaits trial on charges of human trafficking, rape and forming a criminal gang to sexually exploit women. The Bucharest Tribunal s decision to allow Tate, 37, to leave the country was hailed by his spokesperson, Mateea Petrescu, as a significant victory and a major step forward in the case. It is not clear whether prosecutors can or will appeal the court s decision. Tate, a former professional kickboxer and dual British U.S. citizen, was initially arrested in December 2022 near Bucharest along with his brother Tristan and two Romanian women. Romanian prosecutors formally indicted all four in June last year and all four have denied the allegations. After Friday s decision, Tate wrote on the social media platform X: I AM FREE.

We embrace and applaud the decision of the court today, I consider it a reflection of the exemplary behavior and assistance of my clients, said Eugen Vidineac, one of Tate s lawyers, adding that the Tates are still determined to clear their name and reputation. . On April 26, the Bucharest Tribunal ruled that the prosecutors case file against Tate met the legal criteria and that a trial could start but did not set a date for it to begin. That ruling came after the legal case had been discussed for months in the preliminary chamber stages, a process in which the defendants can challenge prosecutors evidence and case file. After the Tate brothers arrest, they were held for three months in police detention before being moved to house arrest. They were later restricted to Bucharest municipality and nearby Ilfov county, and then to Romania. Vidineac said the ability to travel within the 27nation EU bloc will allow the Tates to pursue professional opportunities without restriction. .

Andrew Tate, who has amassed 9.5 million followers on the social media platform X, has repeatedly claimed that prosecutors have no evidence against him and that there is a political conspiracy to silence him. He was previously banned from various social media platforms for allegedly expressing misogynistic views and using hate speech. The four allege Tate sexually and physically assaulted them and reported him to British authorities in 2014 and 2015. After a fouryear investigation, the Crown Prosecution Service decided in 2019 not to prosecute him. The alleged victims then turned to crowdfunding to pursue a civil case against him. In a separate third case, the Tate brothers also appeared in March at the Bucharest Court of Appeal after British authorities issued arrest warrants over allegations of sexual aggression in a U.K. case dating back to 20122015.

La Crosse. Eau Claire. . MMJ. . COPYRIGHT 2024 BY NEWS 8 NOWNEWS 8000. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. THIS MATERIAL MAY NOT BE PUBLISHED, BROADCAST, REWRITTEN OR REDISTRIBUTED. LA CROSSE WKBT Last Friday, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of public camping bans, opening the door for local officials to create similar laws. There are already bans in place in La Crosse like the one in the Grants Pass v. Johnson case. While some local leaders see the Supreme Court ruling as a helpful policy tool, others worry about its impact on the area's unsheltered community. "I really do think Grants Pass will benefit the city of La Crosse," said Erin Goggin, city council member for District 2. Goggin said the bans help keep the unsheltered community safe, but others see it differently. "Now that there's a ban it's hard to find these people and get them resources," said Katlyn Becker, a member of the Total Navigation Team. "So, it's almost taking away from people being able to get to the end result of being housed or getting the help that they need.". Other advocates said a decision like Grants Pass will only make it more difficult to help. "The first thing that landlords usually look at is criminal record and criminal past, so again, imposing fines is just counterproductive.". Right now, La Crosse's unsheltered community has few options for where to go. "We have Salvation Army we also have the domestic abuse shelter New Horizons. Both of those are full to capacity almost always. If a room does become open, it's usually gone within the hour," Parcher said. Advocates are hoping the city prioritizes policies outside of the bans going forward. "We definitely need more shelter space in La Crosse," Parcher said. Goggin, however, said the bans are immediate action the city can take. "This is a complicated issue, but we need to start somewhere, and we need to draw the line somewhere.".

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of public camping bans, sparking debate in La Crosse. While some believe the bans are necessary for public safety, others argue they hinder efforts to assist the unsheltered community. Resources are limited, with shelters often at full capacity. Advocates urge the city to focus on policies beyond bans to address homelessness.

Menu. COLUMBUS, Ohio More than 100 dispensaries in Ohio are on their way to selling recreational marijuana. This comes after sales were anticipated to start in June. The Division of Cannabis Control has given provisional licenses to 110 dispensaries so they can sell both medically and recreationally once they receive final approval. Of the 110, Northeast Ohio has 36. Southwest Ohio has 29, and Central Ohio has 18. Franklin County has the most with 12, Cuyahoga with 11 and Hamilton with nine. License applications must be approved or denied by Sept. 7, but the state and policymakers have continued to say that applications could be granted and recreational sales could happen by midJune. The passage of Issue 2 allowed adults 21 years of age and older to smoke, vape and ingest weed. RELATED:High hopes for marijuana to hit store shelves sooner this summer. Ohio Cannabis Coalition s Tom Haren is staying positive despite the delayed start date. "Rome wasn't built in a day," Haren said. "There is a lot of work that needed to get done.". Consumers haven t been able to buy weed legally because there is a process that takes place between getting a provisional license and getting a license with a certificate of operation. The state has a list of requirements that shops need to meet, such as keeping visitor logs, having curbside and drivethrough pickup and utilizing surveillance systems. Dispensaries will also have to demonstrate they can keep inventory aside to make sure medical patients continue having preferred access. Sellers will also have to do a test sale to a medical patient and a recreational consumer, among dozens of other tasks and evaluations. "We've been going on a hiring blitz, of course, making sure that we're staffed up," Brandon Nemec with Verilife said. But Gov. Mike DeWine wants more regulations. "We have a problem of walking down the street with your fiveyearold and there is marijuana smoke," DeWine said in late June. He has been asking for lawmakers to deal with hissafety concernsfor months. The Senate has passed and proposed various changes to the law like a restriction or ban on public smoking. House Speaker Jason Stephens RKitts Hill has been blocking it, and dispensaries support him. "Honoring the will of the voters is very important," Stephens said in late June. "That part has been done this was passed in November and it's still the law of the land.". The lawmakers in both chambers allegedly agree that they want to put more stringent guidelines on advertising, but they can't agree on the vehicle. The House wants a clean version of a bill meaning they don't want the Senate to "go against the will of the people," which is what House leaders say the other chamber is doing. The Senate leaders have argued that the citizens didn't actually know what they were voting for, and they don't actually want or need to be able to grow six plants as an individual or up to 12 plants per household. In their most recent move, the Senate proposedS.B. House leaders, specifically marijuana enthusiast state Rep. Jamie Callender RConcord, said a public ban would not be happening under his watch. The House and the Senate both proposed ideas, and their leaders have been arguing about whose policy is better for the state, which in turn has kept marijuana off the shelves despite being passed in Nov. and going into effect in Dec. 2023. RELATED:Republican squabbling keeps marijuana off shelves months after legalization. Even though sales didn t happen as hoped in June, Haren said Cannabis Control is still ahead of schedule. Technically, they have until Sept. to issue the first batch of licenses. "We're very encouraged that we are a matter of weeks away from Ohioans being able to purchase legal, regulated, taxed, tested, adultuse marijuana products right here in the Buckeye State," Haren added. There will likely be no changes to marijuana policy until the end of the year since the chambers are in summer recess until after the Nov. election.

Over 100 dispensaries in Ohio are getting ready to sell recreational marijuana soon after sales were expected to start in June. The Division of Cannabis Control has granted provisional licenses to 110 dispensaries. There are requirements such as surveillance systems and inventory management to ensure medical patients are prioritized. Sellers need to conduct test sales to both medical and recreational consumers. Gov. Mike DeWine is pushing for more regulations, particularly around public smoking. Lawmakers are in disagreement over specific regulations.

Castillo, a Democrat, was elected to his first twoyear term representing that neighborhood in 2013 and has remained on the local legislative body ever since. He was last reelected in the fall. Alaine Griffin, director of communications for the chief state's attorney's office, confirmed in an email that the Fern Drive property was intended to be used in the warrant because it was "the lastknown address available to investigators.". Carmen Nieves, who unsuccessfully challenged Castillo last year in a party primary, said the warrant is proof her rival should not be holding elected office in Bridgeport. "He should step down and I should sit there," Nieves said. "You can't lie to the court about your address.". Advertisement. But in a brief joint interview following his arraignment last week, Castillo and his attorney, Dennis Bradley, said the former lives in Bridgeport, not Shelton. Castillo then nodded in assent. Typically, the state elections enforcement commission investigates residency matters. Spokesman Joshua Foley noted, "We only can look at one facet of that, which is 'Are they voting where they shouldn't be voting?' Not 'Are they holding office where they shouldn t be?' ". The SEEC uses the term "bona fide residence" as a benchmark when probing such issues. Currently the commission is probing a pair of complaints that Mayor Joe Ganim actually stays in Easton and Democratic Town Chairman Mario Testa in Monroe. Advertisement. Foley said typically the agency opens cases into complaints or referrals from other state entities but can also selfinitiate. Though, Foley added, "It s pretty rare we selfinitiate based on information that s just floating out there. . Bridgeport property records show Castillo and his wife purchased their multifamily Noble Avenue property in 1998. It was then taken over in 2007 by a limited liability corporation, JJ Real Estate Holdings, registered in Castillo's name with the state. Court records show, beginning in February 2023, they faced foreclosure for defaulting on their mortgage. Advertisement. Bridgeport City Council President Aidee Nieves, who is not related to Carmen Nieves, said there is no question Castillo resides on Noble Avenue. "I've picked him up there, met him there at night, different hours of the day. The man lives there," she said. "I don't see that as being a serious issue.". Finch more recently has been living in Trumbull, but regularly visits his Bridgeport house because his sister is staying there. He, too, insisted that Castillo resides on Noble Avenue and that he only just saw him. "He's sitting in his backyard under his cherry tree, his kids are out on the deck, cooking lunch," Finch said. "He lives here.". Advertisement. But Gemeem Davis, head of the Bridgeport Generation Now Votes group who also had noticed the Shelton address on the arrest warrant for Castillo, said the situation deserves a formal investigation by the SEEC. "He needs to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt he lives on Noble Avenue where he claims," Davis said. "And if he lives in Shelton he should absolutely step down from the City Council.". Castillo is hardly the first Bridgeport elected official who has come under scrutiny for their living situation. The city has a history of politicians not residing in the neighborhoods they represent or even within Bridgeport's borders. Advertisement. Many individuals, however, have not been following that rule, Castillo included. Daniel Tepfer is a reporter with the Connecticut Post. He has been reporting on legal issues and covering criminal cases for many years. About. Contact. Services. Account

Bridgeport City Councilman Alfredo Castillo was arrested for mishandling absentee ballots during the 2019 mayoral primary. Despite a warrant listing a Shelton address, he claims he still lives in Bridgeport. Castillo and others were arraigned on election fraud charges. The state is investigating if Castillo violated residency laws. Some believe he should step down if he doesn't live where he votes. Others, like the City Council President, insist he lives in Bridgeport. There have been calls for a formal investigation to verify his residence.

The White House has announced that President Joe Biden will'likely' meet with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahulater this month, when he'll be in Washington to address a joint session of Congress on July 24. His invitation to address Congress by Republicans has already proven divisive, given a number of Democrats havedeclared they intend to boycott it. Likely dozens will not be in attendance, similar to what happened when the Israeli premier addressed Congress nearly a decade ago. On Wednesday a White House official toldThe Times of Israelthat "The president has known Prime Minister Netanyahu for three decades. They will likely see each other when the prime minister is here over the course of that week, but we have nothing to announce at this time.". But tensions have been soaring, given just last month the White House canceled a meeting with an Israeli national security delegation after Netanyahu issued a video chastising the US for withholding some weapons shipments. The White House was left furious. At the time, Biden press secretary Karine JeanPierre called into question the Israeli leader's narrative. "We genuinely do not know what he s talking about. We just don t,"she told reporters. She had noted that "there was one particular shipment of munitions that was paused, and you ve heard us talk about that many times." JeanPierre then emphasized, "There are no other pauses none no other pauses or holds in place.". Biden has over the last months on various occasions gone negative against the 'far right' Netanyahu government, despite Israel having long been a very close US ally, over human rights abuses and mass killings in Gaza. The US administration has on the one hand continued to approve of major weapons and aid packages to Israel, but on the other has highlighted the soaring civilian death toll due to the IDF offensive. Progressive Democrats have made their anger known, with many vowing to not vote for Biden in November. Newsweek has recently highlighted Congressional Democrat discontent with Biden's Gaza policy inthe following:. The AP reported that interviews withmore than a dozen Democrats revealed the discontent over Netanyahu's upcoming speech, and how some feel it is aRepublicanploy to divide Democrats. Some Democrats have said they will attend Netanyahu's speech to show support for Israel, but others are clear that they won't be attending. Rep. Lloyd Doggett, a deputy whip for the Congressional Progressive Caucus, has stated that Netanyahu "needs to be staying in Israel and working for the peace that he has been unwilling to support in the past.". The WH Press Secretary is using Benjamin Netanyahu as a reference for Biden s cognitive coherence.This is where we are.God help us.pic.twitter.comJjBaa9NCAX. The "indiscriminate bombing that he has encouraged.. has led to loss of lives that should never have happened.He has not prioritized the hostages; he ought to be doing that instead of coming here," he toldThe Hilldays ago.

"If you actually look at their life stories, their backgrounds and bear in mind, these are people making executive decisions that fundamentally affect people's lives, I think they're going to find it very, very hard.

And asked for his reaction to the Prime Minister scrapping the Rwanda scheme, Mr Farage said: "Well he said he would do it, at least he's kept a promise I suppose. "Look, Rwanda was never going to work. WhatKeir Starmeris proposing, which is, tackle the gangs, well, frankly, you know, the last Government were doing that for the last few years, it's not going to work. At the minute it's wild and windy, but we do have some pretty strong first hand accounts that as soon as we get a calm spell, they'll be crossing the English Channel in their thousands, and let's face it,Keir Starmerdoes not have a plan to deal with it.". .

The budget supermarket chainhad long planned to build a new store off London Road on the eastern edge of the city, which would havebrought up to 40 new jobs to the areaand made affordable food more accessible. Currently, the only budget supermarket in Bath is the existing Lidl off the Lower Bristol Road on the far side of town. But neighboursprotested at the plans to build the supermarket on a field dubbed an inadvertent nature reserve last summerand almost 1,200 people lodged objections to the plans. Now Lidl is withdrawing its planning application,Bath and North East Somerset Councilofficers have told councillors. It is understood plans may be resubmitted in the future once more highway surveys have been undertaken. A Lidl spokesperson said: "We remain fully committed to opening a new Lidl store in Bath to give even more households access to high quality, affordable produce. To ensure that our application is as robust as possible and contains the results of vital highways surveys, we have withdrawn our application with a view to resubmitting it later in the year once we ve had an opportunity to carry out these surveys. We look forward to working with the local Council on the updated application and to providing further updates to residents in due course.". Joanna Wright, the local Green councillor on Bath and North East Somerset Council, said: Myself and councillor Saskia Heijltjes, as ward councillor for Lambridge have been against the development of a supermarket at this site because we know already how problematic and congested the strategic road network is on the east of Bath. This site would have caused even greater disruption to local highways, whether you are a driver, cyclist or walker. Coupled with the real threat of impacting our UNESCO status by placing a superstore at a historic gateway and threatening local businesses, this application was never going to get through planning. That s why Lidl have withdrawn this application, they don t want to be seen to lose. No doubt they will try again. The fight will continue to stop any supermarket being built on this site. . In total, 1,194 people lodged objections to the plans on Bath and North East Somerset Council s planning portal. 402 people lodged comments in support, while 23 people also left uncategorised comments. One objector, John Eames, wrote: This proposalrides roughshod over the value of greenery, earth, flora and fauna in a way we can no longer afford globally. It is unnecessary as Bath is wellprovided with supermarkets across all price sectors. Lidl already have a Bath store. Their presence on London Road will damage the Larkhall community of shops. . Bryony Wade agreed. She wrote: The London Road is really very busy and usually more or less at a standstill. Any more traffic and there would be lots from a supermarket will make it a permanent gridlock. The area for the proposed development is a lovely wildlife haven and a necessary green space to help counteract the pollution from the road. . But others were in support of the move. Susan Lock commented: Bath is in need of a further discount store and this design presented at the current Lidl s store shows an awareness of the requirements of a green build. This store would also alleviate the current store of the large numbers using the original store and help reduce the travel at the Lower Bristol Road. . Lidl say their plans, which included a green roof on the store, bird baths, bat boxes, bee towers, and retaining the woodland by the river, would actually increase the biodiversity on the site, which is currently a field surrounded by trees, by 40. Lidl had also stated it had searched exhaustively for suitable sites, and that the London Road site was the most suitable, accessible, and convenient. The story has been updated with a comment from Lidl.

Lidl withdraws plans to build a new supermarket in Bath after facing opposition from neighbors and receiving over 1,200 objections. The store aimed to provide affordable food and create jobs but faced concerns about traffic congestion and environmental impact. Supporters argue the need for a discount store, while opponents emphasize the importance of preserving green spaces and protecting the local ecosystem. Lidl plans to resubmit the application after further surveys.

Wild Thang caught distemper as a puppy and is now toothless.Photo:JOSH EDELSON. The World's Ugliest Dog competition has been held for nearly 50 years and according to its website "celebrates the imperfections that make all dogs special and unique". This year's competition held during the 2024 SonomaMarin Fair in Petaluma, California included eight contenders, most of which were rescue dogs. The winner was an eightyearold Pekingese called Wild Thang. His human companion, Ann Lewis from Coos Bay, Oregon, toldSunday Morning's Mark Leishman that Wild Thang took the title on his fifth attempt. "He was awarded the prize because he's what they call 'glugly' glamorous ugly. "He's got this ginormous coat, but underneath .. there's kind of a little, decrepit dog that has survived distemper, but he's healthy, happy. "It's just left him with a few handicaps he has no teeth, so his tongue sticks out, but he's loving life!". Lewis put Wild Thang's recent success down to getting older and "just a little bit uglier". "He's been the crowd favourite for a while, and the judges as well, liked his personality, his temperament. "He loves the crowd and he loves the people. He was being a total ham on stage, and he's just a happy dog.". Ann Lewis and her happy hound, Wild Thang.Photo:JOSH EDELSON. Lewis entered the competition to promote rescue dogs, and Wild Thang is also an advocate for pet vaccination, having contracted distemper from another rescue dog as a puppy. "Fortunately he had his first set of shots, but he was only eight weeks old, so he wasn't due for his second, so he's an advocate for please, please, please get your dog shots. There was thousands of dollars in vet fees when a 200 shot could have avoided it.". Wild Thang beat a number of rivals for the title, including a oneeyed pug named Rome who was wheeled around in a "doggy wheelchair because his rear end didn't work". "He was pretty darn ugly. I thought he was going to be the one to beat.". Most of Wild Thang's 5000 prize would go towards dog shelters, she said. The hound often made personal appearances at dog rescue and adoption fairs, where he was popular for selfies with attendees. "It's exciting because it's promoting such a good cause.".
